New Prospects - Co Occurring Program

They are set up for 1 level: inpatient residential. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Bridgeport, 1 offers a bed.

Yes. They offer a program for pregnant and postpartum clients, which is one of 9 named programs here.

Bridgeport has 17 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Bridgeport that is the part that varies.

The questions are much the same wherever you call, because every intake line is screening for the same few things. Medical history matters here: seizures, pregnancy, heart problems and current prescriptions all change the plan. Ask what the next step would be and who makes it happen.

Often, though residential care is reviewed far more closely than outpatient care. Coverage for detox is normally a separate question from coverage for the treatment that follows it. Ask what the appeal process is before you need it.

Returning to use after treatment is common enough that programs are built expecting it. What changed, who was around, and whether medication was part of the plan are the questions worth asking after a recurrence. Ask whether medication is on the table this time if it was not before.
